Courageous
East Coast activist Jane Parker from Annapolis
County has left us. Jane was only 42

Jane
had run out of her Medical Marijuana and was prescribed high doses
of morphine to
reduce the pain she suffered from due to her battle with MS. Morphine
unfortunately does
NOT have the same medicinal properties as Medical Marijuana and this,
led to
Jane's untimely death.

Jane,
like so many others before her, fought an uphill battle with Health
Canada and our
GREAT Canadian Government who seem to turn a blind
eye to the sick and dying people
who only want Medical Marijuana
to feel better and improve their quality of life...
... WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THAT ?!

FEDERAL
MEDICAL MARIJUANA EXEMPTEE
RIP –
JUANITA
AGAWA

Juanita Agawa at Hempfest 2003

Juanita
Agawa has left our world and has joined with
her ancestors and friends in the Spirit World.

She
departed this morning Jan 29, 2004
at 6:00 AM with her youngest son by her side.
She left in peace and no pain.

Londoner
Lynn Harichy, whose efforts helped to legalize medicinal marijuana
use in Canada, died Christmas Day after a lengthy battle with multiple
sclerosis. She was 42. As part of a national network of lobbyists,
Harichy was a longtime crusader for the legalization of pot for
medicinal uses. She once lit up a joint on the steps of London
police station, an act that led to her arrest.

Two
years ago, following the efforts of pot crusaders like Harichy
across Canada, the federal government eased the law on pot use
for those suffering from serious illnesses. The
Office of Cannabis Medical Access was established to regulate use
of medicinal marijuana in cases where it would have some medical
benefit. Harichy's
efforts to that end leave a proud legacy, says her brother, Wayne
Fortnum. "A lot of people when they go, they didn't leave
anything behind. She has something. I'm proud that she did what
she thought she needed to do."

Harichy
ran the Cannabis Compassion Club, which supplied pot to sick people.
She served more than 600 people who suffered from such diseases
as MS, AIDS, cancer, epilepsy and chronic pain. As
the rules began loosening around marijuana use for the seriously
ill, Harichy once told The Free Press why she started the club.

"The
people who bought from us just couldn't go out on the street," she
said. "It would have been too dangerous for them."

Despite
the criminal charges it caused her, and the social embarrassment
she once admitted to feeling, Harichy continued pushing the cause
until her MS began to take its harsh toll over the past year, her
brother noted.

"She
was dedicated to her cause," Fortnum said. "When she
got her mind ( set ) to do something, she did it."
